I saw this headline
the other day and got so excited I wanted to shout it
out on top of a roof top. This is groundbreaking news!
I mean, how many times have you heard friends and
family tell you running will wreak havoc on your
knees?
Well, now you can set
the record straight once and for all. Study after
study now shows that RUNNING IS GOOD FOR YOUR
KNEES!
Here's proof:
A 2008 Stanford
University 20-year
study of 962 runners and non-runners
concluded that the non-runners experienced 2X
as much joint damage due to inactivity.
In 2007,
the Danube Hospital reported that running has a
"protective value" on knee joints after a 10-year
study of elite marathoners in Austria.
The Medical University of Vienna concluded
in 2006 that marathon running does NOT damage
"cartilage, ligaments, or bone marrow of the
knee in well-trained runners."
This is news that will rock the
running world to its core! Spread the word! RUNNING
IS GOOD FOR YOUR KNEES! So train smart,
stretch, and most importantly RUN! You'll be running
well into your 70s and 80s.
